Left atrial appendage closure device specification from 2d ice to treat atrial fibrillation patients

A system for left atrial appendage device selection, the system comprising:

• a 2D ICE imaging system configured to acquire left atrium image data of a left atrium of a patient and left atrial appendage image data of a left atrial appendage of the patient;
• and
• an imaging processor configured to generate a three dimensional model of the left atrium of the patient from the left atrium image data, the imaging processor further configured to register the left atrial appendage image data to the three dimensional model and determine that the left atrial appendage is sufficiently visualized in the left atrial appendage image data;
• wherein the imaging processor is further configured to compute at least one anatomical measurement of the left atrial appendage and select a device for an left atrial appendage closure procedure based on at the at least one anatomical measurement.

A non-transitory computer implemented storage medium that stores machine-readable instructions executable by at least one processor for left atrial appendage assessment, the machine-readable instructions comprising:

• acquiring a plurality of images of a left atrium of a patient;
• generating a model of the left atrium from the plurality of images of the left atrium;
• acquiring a plurality of images of a left atrial appendage of the patient;
• determining, based on the model, if the plurality of images of the left atrial appendage are sufficient to accurately estimate a specification of a left atrial appendage closure device;
• and
• computing and providing, when the plurality of images of the left atrial appendage are sufficient, an anatomical measurement of the left atrial appendage or providing, when the plurality of images are not sufficient, instructions for an operator to acquire additional images of the left atrial appendage.
